The limits of a decoupled out-of-order superscalar architecture

This thesis presents a study into a technique for improving performance in out-of-order superscalar architectures. It identifies three technological trends limiting superscalar performance; they are the increasing cost of a main memory access, control dependencies and the greater hardware complexity...
